This is the watch requested by the U.S. Navy SEALs for its unique illumination technology. Identified as a vital element for maintaining light discipline during night missions, borosilicate glass capsules with phosphor-lined interiors make up the watch's 12 hour positions and its hour, minute, and second hands. Tritium gas sealed within each capsule reacts with the phosphor lining, causing it to fluoresce for more than 25 years without the need for a recharge from a light source. The watch's case and case back are made from carbon-reinforced polycarbonate; case back is secured with stainless steel screws. It has a ratcheting, unidirectional polymer bezel for measuring elapsed time and a push-in stainless steel crown with double O-rings to ensure its water resistance down to 660'. The Swiss quartz movement provides impeccable timekeeping for on-the-second synchronization. The face is protected by a tempered, scratch-resistant mineral crystal. Its black polyurethane strap defies seawater, slush, rain, or snow. Case 1 3/4" Diam. x 1/2" D. (2 oz.)

Just how many "Genuine NAVY SEAL watches are there? Purchased a watch from HS last Christmas (2011) that was described as "used by the NAVY SEALS". This year's product, quite different in appearance/features is described as the "genuine NAVY SEAL" product. Also, just received a catalog from another firm which features it's own product as the "genuine NAVY SEAL" watch (also different in appearance, but manufactured by the same firm). So, gents, which is the "genuine" item? Suggests to me that some quite clever/misleading marketing is at play here.

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Luminox is an official supplier to Navy Seals and did this particular watch for the Navy Seals for 2012, also when the movie Act of Valor came out.

am happy with the watch which was a gift for my husband for Christmas. He feels privileged to have a Navy Seal watch. It will be good for him while walking the beach looking for sand dollars and shells and doesn't need to be worrying about getting it wet in the process. Also he likes the fact that he can see it readily in the dark. A good choice!
